Dancing With The Beast

February 1, 2018February 2, 2018

I’m thrilled to announce that my new album, Dancing With The Beast, arrives on May 18, 2018. Once again, I coproduced with Doug Lancio and Barry Walsh. Dancing features eleven new original songs, three of them cowritten with Ben Glover and one cowritten with Ben and Matraca Berg.

In the next few months I’ll be premiering some of the tracks from the record, and we’ll have a pre-sale with some exclusive merch items you’ll only be able to get here. If you want to stay in the loop, please sign up for my newsletter.

Burnt Toast & Offerings

You have to watch the quiet ones. Sometimes the loudest truths are served with a whisper. Gretchen Peters, who has written some of country’s most intelligent songs of life’s complications, offers a hushed benediction for a woman emerging from the chilled-over remains of what is truly not enough to flower into full potential.- Holly Gleason / No Depression

If Peters’ ’96 debut, The Secret of Life, had the answers, her edgier follow-up poses the questions, mostly about how to navigate rough emotional terrain. Full of surprises – “Eddie’s First Wife” has a randy lesbian at its center – Peters brings the pop sensibility of Sheryl Crow to meditations on Amelia Earhart and Picasso’s cat. Easy to see why she’s already captured the Brits. B+-Alanna Nash / Entertainment Weekly
